We are looking for an HR Coordinator to join our team based in our Brighton office. You will be key in supporting the HR Team to deliver a high quality, professional HR Service.

• Support the administration of the HR task-management system, including assigning tasks, preparing documents and reports.
• Coordinate and administer our employee benefits, including handling queries, processing requests, delivering info sessions, and reporting on usage.
• Support the completion of HR processes such as appraisals, onboarding sessions, and take ownership of farewell interviews, and the maternity returner programme.
• Produce regular HR data reports and presentations, responding to both routine and ad hoc requests from colleagues and senior leaders.
• Organise and support HR meetings, training, and events, managing room bookings and contributing to delivery where needed.
• Maintain well organised and version-controlled HR documents and ensure the HR Portal is accurate, accessible, and legally compliant.
• Contribute to HR projects and support employee relations cases, taking notes, drafting letters, and helping build the HR brand across the business.

What are we looking for?

• Strong administrative, organisational and time-management skills, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage conflicting priorities.
• Confident with data and able to analyse reports, interpret and present data and findings clearly.
• Confident and professional communicator with the ability to handle sensitive information discreetly.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams) with a practical approach to using IT systems to support efficient working.
• Experience working in a fast-paced administrative or HR support role, with the ability to produce clear reports and support multiple HR processes.
• Ideally CIPD Level 3 qualified (or working towards), with a good understanding of HR best practice and UK employment legislation.

The right attitude is more important to us than your skills or experience. If you're excited about a role but your existing experience doesn't match up with every element of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. We want to collaborate with you and hear your ideas; most of all, we want people to enjoy the journey with us.
